I love everything, except the purple. I don't know why, but it just kind of sticks out in an odd way. The paint jobs are very clean and the color scheme really helps break up and show off the details of the model. Very good work.

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."

"The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,
lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."

I chose purple as a sept colour just because it's a little different, instead of just the standard white, black or red etc ... And it gives the model a bit of spot colour, to add character. It's also a lot easier to paint then white or yellow lol

I thought the same thing...the models look pretty cool! The lences look great! They look so harmonic, except the purple...

Thanks for all comments so far if you don't think purple suits ? What colour do you think then?
